I disagree with the opinion of darkwolf regarding COD. But, I support his/her right to freely express their opinion on this forum. As much as I would expect him/her to defend my right to express my disagreement.
There are many temptations of incivility toward some posters that we disagree. Especially when we find their opinion obnoxious, and inflammatory, to our own view. The secret is to remain civil, in spite of the aggressions we might feel obligated to express, toward their motives, and/or ill-founded belief systems.

I've always had an issue with bullies and have taken bizarre delight in pummelling them. It's usually better to remain civil; unfortunately, you can't reason with the unreasonable.
But thank you, takenoprisoner, for your well written note. You've made a lot of good points. I'll take your advice and tone it down a bit.
Prost!
